This will be the last update until I'm situated in Tallahassee. All in all it was a good summer. If I had to do it over again, I'd do a little more "project" work and a little less game-playing. I did try to do a lot of composing early in the summer, but the inspiration just wasn't there. That was about the time that I switched my energies over to making this web page.

To all the Tech folk that I didn't get to see before leaving, feel free to write me on occasion and keep in touch. If I ever get back up here for a holiday, I have a feeling that Nikki will be in a grad school of her choice, Paige will be adored by all her students, Liz will be off at Catholic U (without her sunglasses which are still sitting on my shelf), Kelley will get off his ass and graduate in December, Shac will still be watching Clockwork Orange in the Recital Salon, Doobie will still be saying things like "I'm like the lighthouse. Come to the shore!", Pip will own Busch Gardens, and everyone else who I didn't mention (only because time is short) will be annoyed at me. I also have to thank the entire Spellerberg family for providing their home as a zany rest stop on my way home from work. I had far too much fun staying there when I should have been studiously reviewing polyphony and Palestrina. Thanks!

Thus concludes the gratuitous, and possibly unintelligible, "shout out to my dawgs" (according to the vernacular).
